You can use them together if you'd like! Herbalism is quite a mild exfoliant, so it should not be too much for your skin to pair it with Love Lettuce every once in a while. We just recommend that you listen to your skin. If you see any redness or it feels irritated then you'll know that it's too much for you.

Q:

Hi, I've been looking for a natural cleanser, and maybe a toner spray (I've actually never heard of those), for my face. I have fair, sensitive freckly skin, and whenever I'm in school my face gets horribly oily from the cramped classrooms, and this causes semi-bad break outs for me, worsening with stress, and oily skin just makes me feel gross. I've read a lot of good reviews for this herbalism, and it seems that it's gentler than Dark Angels, but I'm not sure which will work best to keep the oil away. Also, how would a toner be used? For instance, if I'm in school and I feel my pores clogging up, could I step to the restroom and use it to freshen up? Or is it best for only moisturizing after cleansing? I only wear eye makeup, so it wouldn't conflict with anything of that sort, and a product like that would definitely be a life saver. If you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it too, the nearest lush is a couple hours away! Thanks so much! (:

Herbalism is a great product for helping balance oily skin and if you're just starting off with Lush, then it is a great place to start! As for the toners, you can definitely use it during the day as a refresher! Just spritz on and let it air dry.

Q:

Should I apply this before, during, or after my shower?And how many times should I wash my face with it?

Herbalism has a plant derived chlorophyllin which is naturally green. This will counteract any redness in the skin leaving a beautiful tone and texture. Similarly the rose water in Eau Roma Water toner helps to ease your skin to any sensitivity.

Hey! I would say herbalism is perfect for acne prone skin, but angels onbare skin would definitely balance your skin out. Are you open toalternative suggestions? Aquamarina would probably be the one I wouldsuggest to you more than anything since it's loaded with soothing calamineand is gentle on skin. It leaves your skin feeling clean and residue-free!As far as toners go, I think you may really like Breath of Fresh Air sinceit is so soothing as well. Since you only deal with the occasional pimple,I would suggest you try Grease Lightning as a spot treatment- it'seffective without being drying or abrasive! Good luck!

Hey! I actually used this as part of my daily routine for a while- it'shard to say without knowing anything about your skin, but these clay basedcleansers seem to be pretty gentle. The ground almonds exfoliate, but Idon't find them to be too abrasive. I personally found this to be perfectfor morning and evening use, but if your skin is particularly sensitive,you might wanna look into alternating this with something even more gentle,like 9 to 5.

Hi thereYou can use it as often as you'd like based on knowing your skin. Herbalism is great to help soak up excess sebum, but too much of it sometimes might dry out the natural healthy oils that are trying to balance your face. Totally up to you and your skin!

Q:

I was wondering if the ingredients are all natural. I've noticed that in the UK site, the fragrance for this product is listed in green, but it's listed in black in the US site. Which site has it correct?

You can definitely use this cleanser as a daily facial scrub and as much as two times per day. We just say that the most important thing is to listen to your skin! For some people Herbalism might work best if it is used more sparingly, at once a day or twice a week, and for other people their skin will thrive using it twice a day!

I would also recommend Love Lettuce, which is one of the fresh face masks. Really clean and refreshing feeling, with similar ingredients.

Mask of Magnaminty would be a great match for Herbalism! It shares the fresh feeling,as well as its deep cleansing and balancing properties!

Q:

I have pretty bad acne, I get a lot of cystic acne and because of that I get scars. I've tried a lot of different products, and have gone on a lot of prescription products as well. Would this be good to try? Or should I look somewhere else? Also does lush have any other products that would work well? Thanks!

Herbalism is a wonderful cleanser for helping with acne! If you're looking for something to help with acne scars, Movis would also be a great choice, as it is very high in vitamin E.

I struggled (still struggle on occasion) with cystic acne. I found that no product mattered because the problem was from my diet and hormones. Herbalism is the best out of all Lush cleansers I have tried, dark angels is great too, but not for your skin type. With cystic acne, you want to be gentle with your skin. It can help improve your acne, but please look into your health regime first.Sent from my iPhone

Q:

After using this product for a couple of days with the tea tree oil and my avéne oilfree moisturizer, I have been getting small pimples that I didn't have before. Should I stop using it?

It's totally normal to break out when you first start using a product it just means that your skin is cleaning itself. I would give your skin 3 weeks to acclimate your new regimen!

Hmmmm.. I wouldn't stop using it. The tea tree oil will help dry out the pimples. Try moisturizing first then go over those pimples with the tea tree oil with a Q-tip. At least use the products for a few more days.. I LOVE these products and have troubled skin. I doubt these products are the cause of your recent pimples. I hope that you have better results!Sent from my iPhone

I wouldn't, I love this product and when I first started using it I noticed I started getting some more pimples but then after a few more it cleared up. I think it's just getting all the dirt out of your pores. I swear by this product it always makes my skin look and feel more healthy and gets rid of my red areas. I would give it a little longer before stopping.Sent from my iPhone

Q:

My skin is quite matte but gets oily in the evening. Should I be using Herbalism once a day (at night) or twice a day, as it has exfoliating properties?

It sounds like you should use it at night. If you want to use it twice a day you can as the exfoliation is not too rough and shouldn't hurt your skin with more frequent use.

Answered on 6/24/2015 by Rachel.kin from Toronto

Either is fine, try using it once a day in the evening and if you feel like you need to use it more than absolutely do so!

From everything I've learned about skincare, dermatologists don't usuallyrecommend using physical exfoliants (like herbalism) multiple times a day(exfoliating too often, especially with physical exfoliants, can compromiseyour skin's lipid barrier without yielding an increase in the results hopedfor, so it's important to find the balance that works for you). It wouldprobably be better to restrict your use of a product like this to once aday or less, and have another cleanser without exfoliants in it to use aswell (unless you plan to just wash with water when not using Herbalism,which might be a viable option for some, although as a fellow oily-skinnedperson, I can't imagine this working for me). By the way, when using thisscrub, be careful not to scrub too hard, and know that you shouldn't beusing it as a makeup remover as well (it will not work for this purpose). Irecommend using this in conjunction with a gentle foaming or moisturizingcleanser (depending on how dry your skin gets, and how prone you are toacne), but everyone's skin is different, so I won't pretend there are anyhard and fast rules. Good luck!

Dear Chanel,You didn't mention how old you are, and I am 53. However, my 21-year-old daughter and I are dedicated LUSH users, so I have a suggestion. Try using your Herbalism in the morning followed by Cosmetic Lad. It has wonderful mattifying effect, while moisturizing your skin and providing a terrific barrier between your skin and the world!If you already have a moisturizing routine that you don't want to change, I would then suggest you use your Herbalism in the morning. It will clean and brighten your skin! Then at night, use a more gentle, creamy or delicate soap cleanser. I think you are correct, Herbalism twice in one day, every day, would be too much.Be well, always! ~Jamine

Q:

My skin is a mixture of oily and dry . If I use a product to tame the oil my skin becomes dry , if I use something to add moisture it becomes very oily. Plus I have acne prone skin and few dark spots., do you think this product would be great for me. ????

I also have oily-acne prone skin, though I do not have the same drynessthat it seems you may be experiencing. I had a huge amount of success withthis product - it is very mild on your skin but does an amazing job ofbringing out the natural beauty of your skin. 10/10 would recommend to try!You can always go to a LUSH store near you and ask for a sample!

I don't really have oily skin problems, but only get pimples on my forehead do you think this product would work for me?

I do--it's a gentle enough cleanser that I use it when I don't have anoutbreak, but it's strong enough to treat and prevent pimples. This is agood middle ground cleanser (not as strong as the charcoal based ones, butnot as weak as the others)

Q:

I have really sensitive skin I'm light skin I have blemishes as well will this help take the redness off or would it make it worse , I ordered this product online and I should of done my research before

Herbalism is a really great choice for deep cleansing, as it contains rosemary and nettle to tone the skin, a clay base to draw out any impurities, and ground almonds to gently exfoliate and encourage skin cell turnover!
